We’ve had some nice weather over the past week making the pool an enjoyable place to cool off. The warmer weather DOES tend to bring the insects out, though. We’ve had some reports of ticks but they turned out to be weevils (lots of them this year!), but so far there haven’t been any issues with stinging bugs like wasps or bees. We did have our exterminator out on May 31st for mosquito/tick/flea prevention. We’ll be contacting them to see if there’s anything to be done about the weevils. Having an outdoor pool can be a double-edged sword sometimes – you get the fresh air and the grass, but you also get the geese and the bugs.

The swimsafe tests are going well – this is the first year we’ve tried keeping an electronic record of the tests, so we’re still working out the best way to get things done. PLEASE be sure to fill out the swimsafe test form on paper at the pool before the test starts – think of it as the ‘ticket’ to take the test. This ensures that the guards know who is taking the test, and that the results get put into the spreadsheet afterwards.

Looking ahead - our Snack Bar will have School’s Out Sundaes again this year! Sundaes will be served starting at 3:45 PM until we run out! Buy your Sundae ticket from the snack bar for $3 starting at 3:00 PM. We have a Dive B meet on Thursday the 12th from 4:30 - 9:00 pm. The wings of the pool and the baby pool will be open during the meet
